Well, Doc. and went fishing as re-
marked in my last letter. Doc. caught
two suckers, or should say three, he
stopped and felt the pulse of one of his
patients. So the trip was combina-
ton of profit and pleasure. Igot the
pleasure, that is if you call it pleasure
riding with the smell of an apothecary
shop in your nose all the time.
Lancaster was very we'll represented
in our village last week. The follow
ing citizens were seen on our streets:
G. ID. Streeter and wife, Oliver Club,
V. w. Langridge, j. Hough, and last
but not least, q. j. Hyde, the buggy
seller, drove into our pleasant midst
Friday morning, and before many min
utes the show had begun. Mr.. Grogan,
our dealer here in buggies sent up some
of his latest styles and told their wear
ing qualities, but Jehiel was too much
for him and made sale.
.'How time flies' remarked Mrs. Geo.
X as she was hurrying to get ready
to 60 out riding Eyes fly time will soon
be heren remarked her husband. And
he says now, he don't see what in the
duce made her mad.
MIR. Cabanis, the popular Professor
of our High School, and family, went
out fishing Saturday. Mr.. Cabanis is
a very successful angler and belongs to
the Watts club" here.
Il. r Swales is not Singer but
he huns fine tune when he is selling
one of those light-running White sew
ing machines.
Miss Millie Hail, who has been teach
ing at Cuba City the past winter, re-
turned home to spend the summer
Miss Sallie Coons, who is one of the
efficient teachers in the Cassville High
School, made her folks visit Saturday
and Sunday
There is a touching beauty in the
bright pink apple blossoms that are
now filling the air with their fragrant
perfume. But L. b. Ennor says it's
all lost upon the man who breaks both
suspender buttons irving to pluck them.
Hermon OFT went into the insurance
office last week and the following trans
pired after tossing paper on the table:
That's run out and | want it re-
newed." The clerk took it and said
with SLY glance around the room, and
meek smile on his homily countenance
1--WE are not taking these kind of risks
now" 1t was his marriage certificate.
There was very pleasant picnic par
ty from Platteville around up in front
of Mrs. Stevens Millinery shop last
Friday morning. ENDURING around,
and getting small boy TO find out the
names of this merry crowd, found the
cause of so much hurried activity. 1t
was the birthday of our popular millin-
er and Mr.. and Mrs. H. Z. Stephens,
Mr.. and Mrs. L. Vanderbee. Mr.. and
Mrs. L. Snichler, Miss Mamie and
Mable Vanderbee had come to cele-
brate that event. They changed teams
with Mr.. Hymer and drove on down the
valley to the bank of the Mississippi.
There, under the shade of the Elms
ate their dinner. After which the par
ty hired Spechts' Ferry and enjoyed an
hours ride on the Father of Waters
Returning they assembled the bluffs on
the side of the river and viewed the
scene that has very few equals in this
country of rugged scenes. To make
their trip more exciting the team ran
away, hurting no one but making it
very unpleasant to walk two miles back
to the village. After gathering up the
buggy seats, lap robes, and the remains
of their birthday feast the Plattevillians
returned home, sun burned, famed and
tired out, but with the memory of the
many sights and pleasures to be en-
joyed in picnic on or near the banks
of the Mississippi.
Hams, side meat or pork generally
has been all the go this spring. Some
sneak thief has love for pork
in the 'dress state" His last exploit
was clearing out the smoke house of
Mr.. Josh Gibson.
Mr.. John Neaville made Lancaster
visit on Monday last.
Mr.. L. G. Kruger, of Chicago, spent
Sunday here. Lou makes very regular
trips to this point at least.
M. l.. Spaulding was home Monday
He enjoYedSunday fishing with the boys
out on Green river.
1t is hard to believe that the chairs
of our heads are numbered But with
one glance you can count the hairs of
"Chic's'' blonde mustache.
1t is 92o in the shade, and as my
wife wants me to keep the flies. off the
baby while it sleeps, llhave to ''choke
off" She's getting her washing out and
says it is more essential than writing
notes, if want clean shirt next Sun
day. So good by Yours with fan.
